Hastings Boys High School's blistering run of form continued with an emphatic 38-3 win over local rivals Napier Boys High School on Saturday.

And they did it on the Napier side's home ground before a large and enthusiastic crowd.

Both sides had gone into the Super 8 local derby with impressive results - the Napier Boys First XV having beaten Gisborne Boys High 39-5 the previous weekend and the seemingly now unstoppable Hastings First XV dismantling Palmerston North Boys High by an impressive 100-0 also on the previous Saturday.

In past years the home side have gone into the annual game as favourites, and their form has been good this season.
